Blacks Harbour – Mark Johnson scored with 38 seconds left on the clock to push the Bonny River Ratz to a very close 4-3 victory over the St. George XXX Sunday. The win was the only the Ratz second win of the campaign. Ratz team captain Joe Stevens notched a pair while Jack MacNeil added the other Ratz goal. Scott Matheson also had a pair for the XXX and Ryan Best had the other tally. The game was a typical Ratz-XXX affair with plenty of scoring chances and no shortage of truculence.

After the game, Joe Stevens remarked that the outcome was always in doubt as neither team seemed to be able to haul away and heaved praise on newcomer Corey Spear. “I thought Corey Spear looked great in his Ratz debut. As I’ve noted, he’s not like this because he’s on the Ratz; he’s on the Ratz because he’s like this. Of course, Warren Giesbrecht was solid in net as usual. We need to keep the momentum going now,” added a much winded Stevens.
